Lost Gray Monkey Thought to be Extinct 'Rediscovered' in Indonesia
Scientists working in the dense jungles of Indonesia have rediscovered a large, gray monkey so rare it was believed by many to be extinct.
The boom of the bittern is being heard across Britain once again, after more than a century in which the bird has hovered on the edge of extinction. Noted for its foghorn-like call or boom, the bittern has made a recovery in numbers that the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds described last week as a phenomenal success.
